Cosmelan treatment procedure in India

Question

Hi, I just had Cosmelan Treatment done at a clinic in Bangalore, India for 37000 INR, approx 550USD. But, I am very skeptical of the products used. After the doctor applied the mask, I was not given any products except sesderma hidroquin whitening gel. After many enquiries, I was given what is supposed to be Cosmelan2 but in a container that looks like Cosmelan1(I can see mask written on it and there is no number to identify if it's 1or2). Please let me know if the process is different in India.

Although these treatments can help pigmentation, we recommend the Brightening Kit plus Clear and Brilliant lasers to help treat melasma. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Hi Thanks for your queries...Cosmelan step 2 cream resembles the cosmelan step 1 mask cream. Kindly call the clinic and cross check whether the cream given to you is step 1 or step 2. Usually step 2 cream is advised to start after the exfoliation process is complete and this is approximately 5 to 7 days after the mask. Ideally cosmelan treatment is not combined with any other products.But Treatment process is altered in most of the clinics  Depending on their experience with skin. Hope this will help you.
